FAQs
What is this root elevator used for?
It luxates and loosens a tooth or root from its socket before forceps extraction, making the extraction easier.
How do I know which elevator to pick?
Pattern and tip size are chosen based on the extraction site and root anatomy: straight patterns suit general use, while curved or angled patterns give better access in specific areas.
What material is this instrument made from?
The handle is corrosion-resistant AISI 304 stainless steel and the working end is hardened Japanese-standard J2 stainless steel, each chosen for its job: rust-resistant handling and a hard, precise working end that keeps its shape through repeated autoclave cycles.
Commonly used alongside extraction forceps as part of a complete surgical extraction set.
